Save U.S. Horses From Slaughter ...
Please contact your U.S. congressman and ask him/her to cosponsor the SAFE Act which would stop the trucking of U.S. horses to Canada and Mexico for slaughter and would also ban horse slaughter in the U.S. For the first time, this legislation has a good chance to pass, as it has bi-partison support.

Important call for saving U.S. wolves ...
Very recently I received a request from the wonderful pro-wolf organization "Howling For Wolves" located in Minnesota.
They ask for everyone to PLEASE call or e-mail (or both) their state's senators and house members (senators first) regarding S.164 and H.R. 424. These are both bad bills proposed by special interests to de-list the wolf from the protected list and to allow all methods of killing these beautiful and ecologically needed animals. I really wish some of our legislators had as much honesty and good judgement as have our fellow beings, the wolves. Please look up your senator's contact info at www.usa.gov. Please do it as soon as you can; the vote will come at any moment. Thank you.

First, kudos to cartoonist Patrick McConnell, whose "Mutts" cartoons appear daily in many newspapers. Always entertaining and positive, they also remind readers of the importance of spay/neuter and kindness and love for companion animals. He has a link at adoptapet.com/muttsevent. Thank you, Patrick :)
And for this blog's new readers ... Welcome ... and a brief note to ask you to please scroll (way) down for my huge list of organizations that help animals. On the way, you will find news bulletins and new organizations added. Thank you very much for helping our fellow-travelers, the Animals!

Pets For Vets --
Pets For Vets is an organization that benefits shelter dogs and U.S. veterans with PTSD, by matching vets with dogs who match and complement their personalities and needs. The dogs' lives are saved (they are all from animal shelters) and the vets' lives are enriched and often also saved (there are millions of dogs who are euthanized in shelters each year for lack of homes ... and, also each year, there are thousands of veterans whose lives are lost to suicide). This is a very worthwhile organization with chapters throughout the country. Their website at www.petsforvets.com has a map that shows the location of their many chapters. I note that there are no chapters in Tennessee as yet; I hope there will be one soon. But for Tennesseans there are chapters in neighboring states that can be contacted.
Also (and this is how I learned about Pets For Vets) there is a Katie Couric video called How Shelter Dogs Are Helping U.S. Veterans Battle PTSD. It's an awesome video that features several veterans, each with his/her special dog companion. The link to the video is:

VERY IMPORTANT READ --
The March 2016 issue of Harper's Magazine contains a well-written and documented article that ought to be read by animal lovers and advocates of humane ethics. The article is hard to read because it describes, by a prominent investigator/writer, a horrifying activity being carried out in some areas of our country by what is termed a "rogue agency" involving corrupt US Fish & Wildlife officers. The happening witnessed by the investigator involves a wildlife officer using the dogs from the city's dog pound (in a Texas city and county) for demonstrating the use of a cartridge of very lethal poison that is shot into the animal's mouth. This was done under the guise of how to poison coyotes and other "target" animals. A wild animal, of course, would never allow its mouth to be opened by a person … so the nature of what happened in the Texas city was torture and bullying by this man on a docile collie dog, "training" his men to follow his example. The tortured dog was was poisoned with the cartridge, given an antidote, and promptly shot again with another cartridge ... and kicked into a pit while he/she was in the process of dying. These men are on the taxpayers' payroll. The man who committed the atrocity was later sent to the eastern part of our nation where he has another managerial position. "The Rogue Agency -- A USDA program that tortures dogs and kills endangered species" by Christopher Ketcham is in the March issue of Harper's Magazine. I'm hoping that with the combined help of our nation's animal rescue organizations, American citizens, and honest U.S. legislators, this monstrous situation can and will be stopped.

Inspiring Story on Lady Wolf's Notes ... link below
Please read the wonderful post about dog rescuer Greg Mahle on http://www.ladywolfsnotes.blogspot. It's a happy and inspiring story about a wonderful man!
A New Tennessee Law About Animal Abusers ...
An article by Associated Press has announced that starting on January 1st of this new year. the state will maintain a statewide animal abuse registry which can be accessed by anybody. There you will see a picture of the offender and other information about him/her such as age and address. The Tennessee House of Representatives and the Senate passed the legislation in May that would allow the Bureau of Investigation to create this website.
For this we have to thank State Sen. Richard Briggs, R-Knoxville, who co-sponsored the bill, which was modeled after registries that are kept of sex offenders. The registry will list those persons convicted of aggravated animal cruelty or felony animal fighting. The article I viewed was on WBIR a few days ago. I do not know what other legislators initiated or sponsored the bill. Also mentioned in the item is Bright Hope Animal Rescue in Greenville, the owners of which are pleased to have the new legislation -- and who hope offenders will always be kept on the registry, rather than drop off the list after a certain amount of time. I agree. There are some other states that have initiated a similar animal abusers' state registry. The sting of minimally-punished animal abuse was very much on my mind as I thought of Beauty, the sweet dog whose owner intentionally starved her to death recently. It is essential that prosecutors regard animal abuse as the heavy duty crime that it is and to punish abusers accordingly with prison time as well as fines (and being listed on the Registry).

Military War Dogs ... The Ongoing Efforts On Their Behalf
Please Google "Hoffman and Baddy". On their GoFundMe page at www.gofundme.com/savingbaddy you'll find a poignant and breathtakingly beautiful picture of U.S. Marine Corp. veteran Cpl. Charlsie Hoffman, and Baddy the military war dog who served alongside her. Read about the struggle Cpl. Hoffman had in meeting Baddy's medical needs as soon as he was written-off as no longer needed military equipment.
The rest of the story which you will find when you do the Google search, will tell you how the loyal military dogs who served in Vietnam were just left behind to meet what was most likely a cruel fate, when our human soldiers were hastily withdrawn and sent back to the U.S. ... and the legislative barriers met over a period of years when good people tried to enact a law that would recognize military war dogs as veterans rather than discarded equipment ... and that would ensure medical treatment for them.
Over the years, I've come across a number of heart-wrenching stories of service men and women who were not allowed to adopt or otherwise rescue their military dogs and were forced to abandon these beloved companions who had been through so much with them.
There was proposed legislation called the "Canine Members of the Armed Services Act" drafted and promoted bi-partisanly by Senators Blumenthal and Jones; its purpose was to establish veterinary care for retired MWDs as "canine members of armed forces" rather than as "equipment". As I understand it, the language of the bill was changed by substituting the word "may" for the word "shall", thereby rendering the bill impotent. And so, the situation drags on and these noble dogs who serve alongside their handlers are still unprotected when they are dismissed from military service.
Three non-profit organizations/foundations that give medical financial help to the dogs of those wonderful handlers who do manage to bring their MWDs home with them are:
Gizmo's Gift; www.gizmosgift.org; Lisa Phillips, president, CEO, founder
107 Meadows Way, Converse, TX 78109; 210-587-9754; Lisa@GizosGift.org.

www.sagefoundationfordogs.org; 104 Stone Barn Circle, Holly Springs, NC 27540;
info@sagefoundationfordogs.org.
Combat Canines; www.combatcanines.org located in Fayetteville, NC.
A donation to one of these organizations helps to provide funds for medical help to MWDs.
Hopefully, our government will recognize and respect the valor and service of these dogs and make it easier for them to remain with their handlers when they leave the military.

Welcome!
This blog is a resource list of many of the animal rescue and advocacy organizations ... both near and far ... that I personally know about. If you're reading this post, I welcome you and your interest in our fellow-travelers the animals and the planet on which we all reside.
Some of these organizations help specific animal species and some organizations are "generalists", striving to help all animals.
Please feel free to send me comments, reference notes, or your own personal animal rescue story.
To stay current on various pro-animal issues, your best bet is to establish a rapport with an organization that is actively aware of legislative news; many of these organizations also lobby on behalf of animals. So in my next post, I'll list organizations.
Also gracing this page will be animal pictures ... and some quotes by wise people. I'll add one of my own quotes here too: "We are all in the same cosmic canoe" ... Clara Landau.
One additional note regarding the organization list in my next post -- the date I originally set up the blog appears as the post date, although I continually update/edit the list on dates that are current.
